Dear Norm, Lendra and Karen,
We were so sad to hear of your Mom’s passing. We will always remember Helen as your wonderful Mom and our good neighbour on Letitia St.. She was fun, kind and beautiful and seemed to stay forever young, even as we bratty kids continued to grow up next door. Our families are thinking of you and your families and are sending you our love. Carol, Mary, Rog and Greg Godin

Condolences to Norm, Karen, Lendra and their extended families. Helen played an additional role within the broader family, she was a delightful lady and there was always pleasure in the all too infrequent occasions when we had the opportunity to connect with her, she quietly and with grace undertook her role as aunt to an expanded Farrow Clan including the Low wing.
